Description of Change

Set date in database for new/changed files to: - A new option has been added so you can choose the date the MediaPortal uses to identify how long the file has been in your collection.   The options are:

• Current Date - (Default) Whenever a new track is identified the current date will be used as the added date and will never change
• Creation Date - The actual creation date of the file (as shown in windows explorer) will be used.  If this created date changes then this date will be updated in MediaPortal
• Modified Date - The actual modification date of the file (as shown in Windows explorer) will be used.   Whenever this date changes MediaPortal will update its added date

This option allows you to customize how the views that sort by date work.   By using the current date setting on day one of using MediaPortal all music will be new.  If you use modified date you can maintain a view showing all files that have changed recently.
